It is impossible for a star to shine and not get noticed, even in the dark.

Use your mind’s talents diligently, your heart’s powers incredibly, and your soul’s genius profitably.

Just because you consider yourself a genius does not mean you are smart

They say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil.

Brilliance of the brain must be admired more than beauty of the body.

One who knows what he or she knows as well as what he or she does not know is a genius.

We're all a genius, but If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

If you press grapes, wine will pour out; if you crush roses, perfume will pour out; if you afflict the talented, genius will pour out.

Genius is in you, but like a seed, you determine whether it dies or grows.

Don’t try to silence other people’s genius because you’re too deaf to hear your own.

Talent is like a little seed; when nurtured, it will flourish.

Skill gives you legs to jog, talent gives you legs to run, brilliance gives you legs to sprint, but genius gives you wings to fly.

Your mind has the intellect to lift the world,your heart has the wisdom to better the world, and your soul has the genius to elevate the world.

Stir the world with your skills, shake the world with your talents, move the world with your brilliance, change the world with your genius.

Skill follows the rules, talent breaks the rules, mastery shatters the rules, but genius makes its own rules.

One who thinks for himself is a threat to his enemies, a refuge to his acquaintances, a prize to his friends, and a gift to the world.

In a world full of daisies dare to be a rose.

Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.

God hides treasure in dirt, so that only those humble enough to dig through it find it.

You can be a genius, but you won't get far in life without balance.

Ideas are the currency of innovation.

Genius is when you strike a chord accidently, and the ensuing music is beyond your control

Excellence annoys your haters, success infuriates them, and genius kills them.

You don't have to boast for work that speaks for itself.

If you have a spark of genius, kindle it until it becomes a flame.

Stars shine on us, but talent shines in us.

If the sky was the limit, stars would not light our way to the edge of the universe.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore them all.

In the presence of the sun nobody sees the stars; excel, and you too will eclipse your competition.

Your talent is a seed; cultivate it, and in no time, you will harvest success.

Shine your light so bright, and no one will need a telescope to see you.

If records refuse to be broken, shatter them.

Do what no one else can do and you will become what no one else can become.

Thinking outside of the box is unnecessary when there are no boxes in your imagination.

One who takes the road less traveled earns the rewards most missed.

The high cost of greatness is better than the low cost of mediocrity.

A star earns the right to shine the day it is born.

Thinking outside of the box keeps you from suffocating inside of one.

You become the master of what you master.

Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.

Excellence is the best ink with which to make your mark in the world.

Shatter the limits in your mind and you shatter the limits in your life.

Your original self is worth more than your imitation of someone else.

Failing over and over again is how you learn to succeed over and over again.

Critics are loud, but success is louder.

A bird that fears falling off of a tree branch is ignorant of its gifts.

Loud critics are silenced by loud success.

Big dreamers achieve more than big doubters.

A Genius always admires the choices of the most Confident Fool!

Wisdom is intelligence set on fire.

It is never a river’s fault that one cannot swim.

If a bird does not bring out all of the songs on its heart, all its symphonies die inside.

It is better to be accepted by the bright few than by the dull masses.

An ugly diamond is still worth more than a beautiful pebble.

The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.

Geniuses’ steps take you higher than talent’s leaps.

The highest wisdom is sometimes found in the lowest people.

Brilliance is the masterpiece of your mind. Excellence is the masterpiece of your heart. Genius is the masterpiece of your soul.

Genius is talent set on fire.

To be envied for your giftedness is better than to be accepted for your untalentedness.

Soul power supersedes mind power.

Flawed genius is better than flawless talent.

The cream rises to the top, even if sour.

To walk in the footsteps of the great, put on their shoes.

Dream the impossible.See the impossible.Pursue the impossible.Achieve the impossible.

Follow your dreams, not the crowd.

Transcend your doubts.Transcend your fears.Transcend your weaknesses.Transcend your limits.

Let your work speak for itself:If poor, it will remain silent.If average, it will whisper.If good, it will talk.If great, it will shout.If genius, it will sing.

Your mind can imagine what others cannot.Your heart can sense what others cannot.Your soul can receive what others cannot.Your feet can go where others cannot.Your hands can do what others cannot.

Dream what others do not.Imagine what others have not.Do what others will not.Achieve what others could not.

Renounce poor work.Shun trivial work.Entertain respectable work.Welcome superior work.Honor transcendent work.

Make your mark now.Make your mark today.Make your mark forever.

Dream the impossible.See the invisible.Pursue the intangible.Achieve the incredible.

It is at the edge of excellence that genius awaits.

Stand out because you think differently.Stand out because you speak differently.Stand out because you act differently.Stand out because you work differently.Stand out because you live differently.

The only quality that distinguishes the greats from the masses, is the unwillingness to give up.

Explore your inner creative genius through the medium you love and enjoy the journey!

Breaking from the herd is better than getting lost in it.

Works from the soul transcend works from the mind.

By just looking at a different direction than others, you may gain the vision of a genius because geniuses often do this!

You are like a seed; your greater beauty lies not on the outside, but within.

A flawed rose is better than a flawless dandy lion.

Genius is not the one who gives answers, it's the one who asks the questions.

A genius in the wrong position could look like a fool.

Our lives are cluttered by complexities and that leads to problems. Genius is the one solves simple problems which seem complicated.

Birds do not attend music school, but compose timeless masterpieces.

The ordinary think inside of the box, the extraordinary think outside of the box, but genius thinks inside, outside, below and above the box.

A loud mind is greater than a loud mouth.

Give a genius enough time and opportunity, and his idiocy will come shining through.

Genius is nothing but a mastery of the subject at hand

Sometimes geniuses create nothing new, they organize already existing material into something completely useful in other ways

A diamond is just another stone to one who is ignorant of its value.

Write the masterpiece that has not been written.Sing the masterpiece that has not been sung.Paint the masterpiece that has not been painted.Create the masterpiece that has not been created.
